Beginners Training

NEW 2019 DATES COMING SOON

Do you own a DSLR but still take average, boring photos?

“Now You Can Master Any DSLR Camera And Take Gorgeous, Attention-Grabbing Photos By Following our Step-By-Step Training!”

I NEED THIS WORKSHOP - TAKE ME STRAIGHT TO THE BOOKING SECTION 🙂

We have a NEW BEGINNERS COURSE for you and its very cool!

We've spent the past 11 years helping beginners with their photography, and we know whats stopping you getting the best from your DSLR and taking images the really impress your family and friends, photos you can put in galleries or sell online or maybe at the markets!

So if you are struggling with your camera, and want to be recognised for great photography what we have to share with you will make you amazingly happy.

WE USED TO BE LIKE YOU!  We know what its like to take average photos and not be happy with whats showing up on the computer screen. And we used to look at images on other photographer sites and wonder how they did it. 

As a learner, it’s not only maddening but can get disheartening, wondering “how was that shot made?”… thinking “it’s probably because they have a better camera”… or “I’ll take photos that good, at some stage”.

We were like you, we didn’t know the secrets, and we couldn’t afford expensive cameras or training workshops. But we wanted to take good photos STRAIGHT AWAY, not “eventually”!

DO YOU Have Questions And Concerns Stopping You From Becoming A Better Photographer?

1. Do you own a DSLR camera but take mediocre photographs – a sign that you lack the skill and self-confidence to get the best images?
2. Are you lost when it comes to shutter speed, aperture, ISO/ASA, depth of field, lighting, HDR, Rule of thirds, lenses, filters, post-production and other difficult concepts?
3. Have you thought about upgrading your camera gear, believing that will improve your photos immediately?
4. Do you still have questions or feel overwhelmed after reading blogs, forums, books, and tutorials?
5. Have you picked up the Camera Manual and gone Blank?
6. Have you thought about taking photography training classes – but want to save your time and money?

TRUTH IS - "IT'S NOT YOUR FAULT"

We've spent many hundreds of hours watching videos, reading books, joining in group meetup's - even dare we say it reading the manual!

And thats probably where you are at, at the moment!  STOP - STOP NOW, you don't need to go through the agonising we have been through!

I NEED THIS WORKSHOP - TAKE ME STRAIGHT TO THE BOOKING SECTION 🙂

HEY and Guess what. After going through PILES of the training materials we found out there, we have decided NONE will turn you into a pro, step-by-step.

It seems they always have missing pieces. Questions without answers. PLUS Nobody says exactly how the best images are made.  HAVE you tried to follow a video on YouTube!

How did we go from beginner hobbyists to having photographs showcased and featured on TV, print adverts, billboards, posters, magazines, and book covers?

We spent countless hours learning our camera gear, we didn't attend University, we didn't even pay someone to show us how to use the gear, we learnt it by using our entry level DSLR every single day.

We discovered a few BASIC PRINCIPLES that make it possible to take great photos, every time, no matter what camera we are using!

How To Quickly Learn Everything You Need To Create Amazing Photographs

I NEED THIS WORKSHOP - TAKE ME STRAIGHT TO THE BOOKING SECTION 🙂

Your shots CAN look like these! Here's how…

Let’s speak the TRUTH: after getting a Digital SLR you found it takes more than reading the manual to get professional looking results from it hey.

LIKE US - you then begin your hunt for more information and answers began.

But there’s a TON of information about photography and cameras, and it’s so dis-organised and full of jargon!

We learned by doing meticulous research, putting it all together on our own. After spending years of applying what we discovered in our own photography, we began sharing with friends and family in one on one training.

We've go the answers you are looking for and we've put them into a simple format in a three hour workshop.

Just image you are able to:

1. Choose the right DSLR without breaking the bank and still get all the desired features.
2. Look like the PRO in the field holding your camera correctly, and having "that" stance!
3. Stop taking boring rubbish photos that friends and family care about and start taking creative, amazing memorable photos worth sharing and maybe even selling ($$ for your next lens!)
4. Avoid the most common composition mistakes and create really stunning images instead
5. Grasp all those settings you've read about like Shutter Speeds, ISO the aperture and DOF.
6. Learn the top 10 photography secrets for the best photos
7. Selecting the best lens for the photo shoot you want to try
8. Learn about Landscape and Low Light Photography
9. Photography children and pets successfully

BUT DON'T JUST TAKE OUR WORD FOR IT..

Alicia Abbott (Testimonial on Facebook) - Hey! Things have changed a lot since I did my very first course with you guys a few years ago!  I always knew what I wanted to do but had no idea how to even use my camera! Lol so doing the first beginners course in the city then the weekend retreat helped me get  off to a good start & get to where I am now! So thank you! (https://www.facebook.com/aliciaabbottphotography/)

Emily Ruth (5* on Facebook) - Just did the 12 hour photography course. Even though the day was overcast and rainy I still got some amazing pictures! Thank you so much Darin, Linda and Kieran for a fun and productive day. Cant wait to go out on another photography adventure with you!

WHY DOES OUR TRAINING WORK SO MUCH BETTER?

You can finally start using your camera gear with confidence. Start taking your own brilliant photo that your friends and family will rave about and even pay money for, if that’s your goal.

Fundamentally and most important: it doesn’t matter if you’re a newbie or hobbyist or have been struggling with photography for a while now… We want to help you!

Digital Realism Photography & Studio are running Beginners Workshops each month from the Forest Lake Studio that will include hands on training both from the studio and down at the Lake, just like what we have described above.

The Beginners Workshop sees you take control of your camera producing amazing looking images by the end of the 3 hour course.

Would you like to improve your photography and understand your camera more?

Here's one last thing: We know that many consumers are sceptical about training companies, especially when it comes to photography. Before we got into the business, we were sceptical too. So in addition to dedicating our business to consumer education, we do one more thing as well. 

We guarantee our work. That's right. We fully guarantee every photography job and training workshop we do. If you aren't happy with our work, you can take the training again. And if you still aren't pleased, you pay nothing. Not one cent. We will fully refund your money!

I think that is only fair…

As a matter of fact, make sure you ask this question when you are looking for photography training or support. "Do you guarantee your work?" Not all companies do -- and it's important that you have this information before you make your decision for peace of mind.

The COST is ONLY $147 per person - for the 3 hour course.

Workshop Details

8.30am Start - meet at our Forest Lake Studio (see map)

In the first session we will take you through the top 10 tips for photography, then using your own camera we will work through the manual settings like Shutter Speed, ISO, Aperture, white balance and more.  We will talk about photo composition and using depth of field, the best times to shoot and which combination of settings and lenses for different photo opportunities.

We will have some morning tea and a short break before we leave for the Lake.

The second session will be down at the Lake itself where you'll be able to work on what we learnt in the first session, putting these practices into action you will see instantly a change in your photos.  We will then head back to the Studio for a cool drink and to finish up at 12.30pm.
